[quote=CROBERTO ,23208]Let me tell you about my China experience.Perhaps it can help you because I’m a money worried man, as you.I was twice in China. The last one was in November 2005.I didn’t travel as a backpacker, however I staied in midium range hotels (about 150 RMB/night).My expenses were about 250 RMB/day (US$ 30).I carried always about US$ 2000,00 cash in a belt wallet.(I feel safety with money in my wallet.)I didn’t use travelers check, but you can easily change then in Bank of China. The experienced travellers prefer TC. The ration 50/50 is a good one, but I prefer cash, because how said Rita, cash is well acepted in China.In the Bank of China you can withdraw RMB 2500/day using Visa Card (debt card).The Visa charges about US$ 5,00/withdraw.Then I suggest you:Come to China with a sum of US$ 2000,00 (cash or 50cash/50 TC). Bring with you a debt Card (Visa is a good one – Mastercard is well used too).Use always the ATM of Bank of China and withdraw the maximum every time (to save the tax).When you spend this amount, withdraw again. You will come back with the same money sum of your arrive.Have a good trip.[/quote]
